John Varvatos Artisan 2.5 oz Customer Reviews

If you’re rocking a fragrance inherited from your old man, or relying on a goopy deodorant stick for your olfactory game, it’s time to mix things up. Kick off your new scent strategy with this subtle, summery eau de toilette from Motor City designer John Varvatos. It’s the fragrance equivalent of your favorite jeans and a just-washed tee: classic, cool, and easy-going. Even the packaging—a flask wrapped in hand-woven rattan—exudes laid-back class.

Didn't care for the scent...

Neither did my boyfriend. Reminded me of the scene in Anchorman, "It's rather pungent.. STINGS the nostrils." It was just a little too strong for both of us, but I may see if one of my gay husbands likes it :)

Light and crisp

Love this scent. Simple and crisp without being overwhelming. Perfect for those on the go, that don't want to spend all day reeking of cologne and instead like a subtle scent that lasts all day. Never overpowering, and I really enjoy it. Definitely on my "to buy" list.

Men or women's?

I received this in a women's Birchbox, but I'm pretty sure I've seen this in the Men's fragrance section at Nordstrom. I'm all about trying new fragrances and some men's fragrances are nice on my skin... but I think I would have to give this one to my boyfriend. This should be in the Men's birch box :) Very cool packaging, though! I wish it was a parfum.

Like it very much!

I thought the fragrance was not overwhelming, and I really liked the fact that I could wear it to the office without overpowering people. Overall, I liked it, but I wasn't in love with it enough to buy it.
